Men's
NikeFree 5.0+ Shield

Product Description:

Men's NIKE® FREE 5.0+ SHIELD :: Feel connected to your most natural strides while getting enough protection for a smooth, protected ride with the Men's Nike® Free 5.0+ Shield. You'll run with a natural freedom similar to what you might get from a barefoot running shoe, compliments of the lightweight, dynamic fit of the upper, plus inner-sleeve that provides a snug yet super flexible fit. Your every stride will stay comfortable and protected in the Free 5.0+ Shield's lightweight cushioning, while you'll also enjoy a plenty of durability and traction thanks to the strategically placed lugs on the outsoles of this awesome Nike® running shoe. 8.9 ounces

Category Type:

PERFORMANCE NEUTRAL[?]
If you're a runner with high arches and you love to race or train fast, Performance Neutral shoes are right for you.
Enjoy a lightweight, low-to-the-ground design that's perfect for picking up speed.
When choosing running shoes, find your perfect fit using this chart. Category types are based on factors like arch height, running habits and body frame.

Features & Benefits:

Lightweight meshes with dynamic flywire technology and adaptive innersleeve: Creates a snug yet flexible upper that moves with the natural motion of the foot

Flex grooves within the Phylon midsole: Allows the foot to move naturally in multiple directions

Phylon from the midsole combines with strategically placed lugs of rubber: Provide a durable and minimal lightweight feel

I have a couple of pairs of the Free 5.0's and they run quite snug to size, mostly across the width. The Toe Box and Heel Counter are both ok for my feet. The Free 5.0 Shield on the other hand are larger in fit (less snug) and feel quite loose around the Heel Counter. I wear 11US across all Nike Footwear from their runners to their Romaleo Weightlifting Shoe. This shoe is by far my loosest fitting Nike. I would still recommend this shoe but only after fitting directly with the retailer as opposed to buying online to your shoe size.
